Information in this article comes from the author's personal observations in the Pocket Casts app. Users can also see what's about to play next in their Up Next section. Users can see what's downloaded for local listening (offline), at last. Podcasts can be listened to without subscribing. The latest version of Pocket Casts delivers podcasts with great aplomb. Once a certain period of time has passed, the downloaded file will delete itself from your phone. If you're the sort of person that thinks a whole lot of podcasts seem like a good idea when you're browsing on the weekend, then by the end of the week you find you're still inundated by a pile of downloaded files you'll never listen to, timing is your friend. Timing also works for downloaded podcasts, saving your future self a lot of grief from having to delete piles of megabytes you wish you'd not downloaded in the first place. After your chosen time is complete, the podcast will leave archive status. Archive timing be eternal or relatively short – you can set the time for which any podcast is archived in your account. This sets the episode aside from both your podcast filter and your podcast page. Swiping a podcast leftward will archive said podcast. Marking "played" and "unplayed" podcasts are joined in this version by "archived" podcasts. Users can see episode number, season number, and both "trailer" and "bonus" versions of podcasts, per tagging from creators. The way each podcast is listed has expanded in variety. It's worth the effort, and especially worth the effort now that it's in full version 7. I'm able to find new podcasts easily, line podcasts up in a playlist, archive episodes, download, and all that good stuff. Pocket Casts makes the podcast experience simple and intuitive. I've been using Pocket Casts for several years, now, and I can't imagine using any other interface.
